Watch KISS Turn ‘The Tonight Show’ Into the 1976 ‘Destroyer’ Tour

Rock Hall inductees played "King of the Night Time World," "Deuce," and more

“This is a profound moment for all of us,” Paul Stanley told the crowd at the Barclays Center on Thursday night. After almost 40 years playing together, his band, KISS, had been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, alongside Nirvana, Hall & Oates, Linda Ronstadt, Cat Stevens, and the E Street Band.

After a blaring introduction from Fallon himself, KISS conquered the NBC studio as if it was 1976 all over again. Tongues wagging and guitars shredding, the pyrotechnic-loving foursome played Destroyer cut “King of the Night Time World” for the telecast, and played “Black Diamond,” “Deuce,” and a mashup of “Hotter Than Hell” and “Firehouse” as web-only exclusives.
